The department of Electrical Engineering (EE) was founded in 2008 and received official clearance from AICTE to offer the B. Tech degree. From the beginning, this department has utilized practical research, dedicated faculties, and state-of-the-art facilities to offer students a superior education. We prioritize the development of problem-solving and design skills in our students. The professors at GITAM possess experience in several fields such as Control,Automation, Power Systems, Power Electronics, Integration of Renewable Energy Sources, and Smart Grid. They actively engage in interdisciplinary research and strive to foster collaborationsboth within and beyond the institution.
The primary goal of the department is to cultivate professionals by offering.

Classroom Training

Access to high end facilities including PSPICE software – MATLAB; a wide range of development systems for microprocessors and microcontrollers, and Industrial automation tools for better understanding of how the theory they have learnt links to real scenarios.

The faculty adopt the latest teaching aids like digital display and interfacing units, platforms like Information and Communication Technology (ICT), MOOCs, SWYAM Portal and IBM Skill build platform, animations in the classroom in order to make teaching effective and interesting. Also, students are exposed to virtual classroom for additional technical content.

The department aims to play an active role in propelling the state and nation in its growth trajectory through innovative inter-disciplinary research and educational programs at undergraduate level. The students are invoked to “Learning by Doing” and they are encouraged to do the projects / internships / industry visits which extremely improve their practical knowledge.

First-rate engineering education is complemented by building the professional competencies that set the students apart from the competition. We not only have a huge and diverse collection of outside-the-classroom engineering experiences to choose from, we’ve also developed the tools and rubrics to ensure that every student can reap the benefits of their experiential learning opportunities.

Insights on challenges in clean energy

B.Tech programme is a four-year course, deals with the state-of-the art techniques in system level modelling and computational techniques in electrical engineering and also covers advanced topics in power systems, power electronics, control systems which are very much needed for today’s electrical engineer. The goal of the curriculum is to create a flexible undergraduate educational experience, comprising: basic sciences, ethics and human values, electrical and computer programming core, breadth, coverage, depth, and capstone design requirements; as well as open electives. It is at the forefront of the challenge to connect our world; to design and build more efficient and affordable technology; to provide a robust and green energy network; and to help us live better, healthier, smarter and more sustainable.
The course content deals with design, development, simulation, prototyping and testing to maximize the efficient use of energy whilst reducing reliance on fossil fuels in electric system.

Employability:

A blend of electronic system design with computing continues to be among the most employable in the country, 90% employment with average starting salaries of Rs. 7 lakhs.

The department gives its full support to the students so that they turn out to be the best engineers with flying colors in their lives. The department provides the perfect ground and wider horizon to pursue their career in core and other IT related streams through various skill development activities.
